Mr. Cheng is a pigeon enthusiast. He built a pigeon shed on the roof of the rental house and raised 40 pigeons. Mr. Cheng introduced that there are many valuable pigeon breeds among these pigeons, including ultra-long distance plum bird, Van Brianna and red fox pigeon, which are worth tens of thousands of yuan. On the evening of December 23, 2018, when Mr. Cheng fed, he found that there were seven or eight pigeons missing. At first he didnt care, because it was normal for pigeons to return late occasionally.

Mr. Cheng, a pigeon enthusiast, said, At first, I didnt care about it. Pigeons fly around and its normal.

The next morning, Mr. Cheng was shocked to find that there were only 9 pigeons left out of 40 pigeons. Even more than 10 species of pigeons in cages have disappeared. Mr. Cheng realizes that the problem is not so simple.

Mr. Cheng, a pigeon lover, said, There are only nine left, so I know they were stolen. Because the racing pigeons are raised, but the breeding pigeons are caged and can not fly by themselves.

After receiving the alarm, the police of Nanfeng Police Station launched an investigation. However, the nine surviving pigeons did not escape the bad luck. Civilian police investigation and monitoring found that on December 28, 2018, at 4 a.m., there were two suspicious men, who repeatedly went up and down the roof where the Pigeonhouse was located, with a sack in their hand, and suspected of major crimes.

Xie Guanlin, a police officer at Nanfeng Police Station of Guangming Public Security Bureau, said: Through visits, the identities of these two persons were determined, and they confessed to the facts of the crime.

On January 3 this year, two men involved in the case, Longmou and Liang Mou, were captured and brought to justice by the police. After interrogation, Longmou and Liang confessed the crime of pigeon theft. Longmou also explained that he had contradictions with the landlord because of the rental problem. Later, Longmou thought that the pigeons in the rooftop Pigeonhouse were raised by the landlord, so he colluded with his friend Liang Mou to steal pigeons in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, Mr. Cheng, who is also a tenant, would lie down with a gun and even involve these poor pigeons.

Xie Guanlin, a police officer at Nanfeng Police Station of Guangming Public Security Bureau, said: They said there was some contradiction with the landlord, because the removal deposit and other things were a little uncomfortable. They wanted to retaliate against the landlord, thinking that the pigeons were raised by the landlord.

Because of the simple and rough technique, many pigeons stolen by the two men were suffocated and crushed to death. Longmou and Liangmou threw the dead pigeons away at random, while the live pigeons became the meat dishes they cooked in the chafing dish.

Xie Guanlin, a police officer at Nanfeng Police Station of Guangming Public Security Bureau, said, They have eaten it. They dont know that it is a racing pigeon. They think it is an ordinary pigeon and eat it. They know that it may be expensive and they regret it.

At present, the suspects Longmou and Liangmou have been detained by Guangming police according to law. For the variety and value of Mr. Chengs pigeons, the police are also contacting Shenzhen Pigeon Association and relevant departments to verify and confirm that the case is under further investigation.
